Her skills and expertise in BSD and various UNIX platforms has impressed us. We therefore decided it would be only logical to start offering BSD training.

If possible, we would like to find an agreement with freebsd.org to advertise on your website. In exchange, we could provide compensation for every student who registers - perhaps 10 or 15% of the course fee. > > And, of course, it gets BSD out there a lot more. Various companies in Ottawa, Canada think about going to Linux for their products lines - we have been approached for BSD courses in order to help these companies decide if they should use BSD or Linux. In addition to the suggestions made by others, you should repeat this post on the advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list. Folks on that mailing list are looking for opportunities like this and more likely to have suggestions for you on how to make this work. questions@freebsd.org is primarily a tech help group, and you're likely to get answers like "see doc x" instead of offers to work with you. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
